Sam has new conflicts with his family, while Lafayette makes a new alliance with Jesus.

AT EDGINGTON MANOR

"She wants to be with me," Franklin announces to the assembled vamps, as Tara looks on bound at the wrists. "Hence the restraints," Talbot snarks. He's a little miffed that there are so many guests in the manor. "You're not supposed to bring work home," he says to Russell. "Darling... king," Russell replies. Bill enters, and Tara immediately asks Bill to help her, but he refuses.
